Sonic Who?

Memories Of...: Part3

I can't believe it. He actually brought someone else here to torment in front of me! It's like he's mocking me and saying 'I'm not good enough for him!' I'll show Sonic. I'll show him I can be just as tough... and then it'll be like old times.

"Cables, attack!"

Go! Go! ...Damn! You're not getting away that easily Sonic!

"Robots, attack!"

...Yes that's it Sonic. Run for your life, the capture will be all the more sweeter when I make you suffer. And then you'll finally realize that I am the one who's running this city! Not you. And as for that black hedgehog... he doesn't need to be here. I'll jus take care of him and get back to important matters.

"Cables, attack!"

Alright you useless piece of trash, time to get you out of here and out of Sonic's life. You're a distraction to him.

"Hey! He's my target not yours you little bastard! Back off!"

Shut up Sonic! This is my domain and no one tells me what to do. ...Ha! Just for that pathetic attack I might as well give you something to keep you busy.

"Robots attack!"

Get him! ...No! Sonic stop! Stop destroying my creations! Grr... I'll get you Sonic. I'll... no!! How could you save that jerk?! He's trying to get in the way of our fight! I can't believe it. It's as if you don't understand that he's what's holding us back from being friends... holding me back from showing you my true powers. Sonic I'm not giving up on you. Never! ...Oh so you want to finish your fight with him do you Sonic? What about our fight?! You know, the one where Rose came in and interrupted. What about that huh?! ...It's not fair... it's not fair...

"NO, IT'S NOT FAIR!!"

Think you're so tough now Sonic huh? Think you can handle it all can you? WELL HANDLE THIS!! I'm giving you everything I got! ...Robots, constricting cables, the whole arsenal! I'll make sure of it that you never try to walk out on a fight with me again. I'll be the only one you'll want to hurt because I'm the master around here! Yeah! That's why they call me The Mastermind because I know it all! ... Fight all you want Sonic! It's no use! YOU'RE MINE NOW HA HA HA!!

...

What the...? ...W-what's going on Sonic? What's happening to you? ...Why are you on the ground? Are you hurt?! Did I finally break you in?!

...No way... Can it be?

"His super form..."

Wow... I actually pushed him to the limit. Sonic is at full power now and it's all my doing... now I can finally show him how powerful I really am! ...AH! My capsule! It-it's cracked!

"Robo arms, attack!"

Wow! I can't believe I'll actually get to fight him at—hey! Grr... time to call for back up.

"Robo Cat 01, attack!"

Hopefully that'll keep Sonic busy... but still. I can't believe I made him transform into his super form. Only if he's really pissed off does he ever do that. I guess that means that he and I share some sort of special connection... a connection that will always keep up fighting. ...Uh oh. Looks like Robot Cat need some help.

"Guns, attack!"

...Damn. Sonic's too powerful. But he can't take down the Robo Cat easily, no he can't. ...Heh. I see you're trying to get me Sonic. Too bad since my Robo Cat is too loyal to me. ...That's it you two, keep going at it! One of you is bound to lose. ...Yes! Go Robo Cat! Go! ...That's it, go in for the kill!

"Stop!!"

Huh? That voice... where did it come from? Hey... who's up there?

"The battle rages on between two worlds. A battle that'll never end because both sides remain blind."

No, it can't be... What the?! Robo Cat! He's destroyed! ...Oh no, it is her.

"Feared Chaos!"

"I thought you were imprisoned in the Master Emerald."

That's what I thought too Sonic. But how? How did she escape? She must've tricked The Guardian. I knew that idiot wouldn't have lasted any longer. Hey! What's she doing? ...No! Leave Sonic alone! Don't hurt him! Oh why does she have to torture us all? Why can't she just mind her own business? This is my fight and no one else's!

"One like you does not deserve the powers of the Chaos."

Leave Sonic alone Feared Chaos! He has nothing you want so get out!

"The powers of the Chaos do not belong to you. Only Feared Chaos is allowed to harness the powers."

Don't you dare take his powers away! He needs them to fight me! ...NO! Feared Chaos stop! Don't take away what he has! Please stop... no...

...Sonic...

"What is weak shall remain weak."

...How could you? ... How could you take away all that he had going for him? The powers of the Chaos Emeralds was what made him so great... so powerful... and you took it away from him. You care for no one but yourself Feared Chaos... Why? Why hurt so many of us? Why ruin so many friendships? I was so close to having things the way they were... before Sonic left me to terrorize everyone else... And you took away my opportunity to prove my greatness!! You truly are a monster! Heartless and void of feelings!! ...Hey... why are you looking at me?

"Why does one lock them self in a world away from the world?"

I'm not locked away in a world. I'm right here with everyone else. ...Oh no! She's inside the capsule. Please, don't hurt me. ...AH! Why is she hugging me...?

"Why is one afraid of me? I can give you what you need."

"N-no you can't."

No one can give me what I need. I need pain... and no one give me more pain than Sonic. That's why we have to be friends... That's why we were brought together in this battle. But she's ruining it.

"Feared Chaos, I am. Everyone fears Feared Chaos. Feared Chaos knows that one needs pain as well."

"You c-can't hurt me like Sonic. You're not him."

Feared Chaos can't hurt me the way Sonic did. She can't give me that satisfying pain that let's me know that Sonic is still my friend. That's why he caused me so much pain... he was worried about me and didn't want me to grow up scared and defenseless. He wanted me to be strong so he hurt me badly... and often. He may not have apologized but I'm sure it was for my benefit. ...Finally, she's away from me.

"But... one needs Feared Chaos... Feared Chaos needs one. They can hurt each other forever. The demon has not for very long."

What?! Sonic will survive! He's been through worst things than this so I know he'll survive! Damn you Feared Chaos! Stop trying to take Sonic away from me! He wants what's best for me and I'm gonna show him how powerful I've become!

"No! You're not Sonic! You can never be like him! He's my friend... and no one else can take his place... I-I'm sorry."

...She's not saying anything. I hope I didn't hurt her feelings. ...Hey! Don't hug me! ...AGH! ...Why did she kiss me? What's gotten into Feared Chaos? ...Oh good. She's out of the capsule.

"One has such faithfulness to a friend but one has failed to see that demons are not forever. Feared Chaos is forever, Feared Chaos knows you need pain... but one does not want Feared Chaos."

...Huh? Why is she crying? Was it something I said?

"The world could've been ours... everyone fears Feared Chaos."

What is that suppose to mean? ...HEY! Don't do that! ...NO! My life support system! It's stopped working! I can't believe she's doing this to me! After all of the hard work I put into this machine... What the...?! Put your hand down! ...Oh no, she's gonna attack me...

...

AHHHHH!!

... air... air...

Can't... breathe... darkness surrounds... me... Where are you... Sonic? You must be with the other resting souls... perhaps I'll be joining you...

...Oh! Sonic... you're ok... Yes, please take off my visors so I can see you for one last time... Wow... just the way I remembered.

"Tails! Tails!"

"...you....remember..."

...You remembered... my name. Ever since I became The Mastermind you never called me by the nickname you gave me. It's almost as if you regained your memory... of the good times. Have you Sonic? Have you? If you did then you must remember all of the pain you caused me. You must remember all of the tears I cried as well. Oh how could you? I figured it out though... I figured out that you were just trying to toughen me up. You knew that you wouldn't want me around forever so you decided to toughen me up; prepare me for the real world. I even instigated a few of our fights for my benefit. Thank you Sonic, thanks for everything.

I know... that somewhere in your heart... you're proud of me. I guess... that's why you're smiling. Smiling because I finally got a chance to show you how much I've grown... all because you cared for me.

Thank you Sonic... I will... never... forget...
